The Gunners have also said that Aubameyang’s squad number is still to be confirmed, as it probably depends on whether or not they can successfully flog Olivier Giroud (No.12) to Chelsea before the transfer window closes this evening.

While undoubtedly an exciting, top-tier signing, questions still remain over whether Arsenal have it in them to salvage something from the latter half of the season, with the imminent departure of Giroud robbing them of their sole ‘Plan B’ option.

At least in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Arsene Wenger must surely now boast the longest-named front line in all of football?
